Default Turbo on a 2015 GS350 F Sport AWD

I’m wondering what it would cost to put a turbo on my 2015 GS350 F Sport AWD? Has anyone done it? Any recommendations?

Unaware of a turbo kit for our car.

What power mods would you recommend then? Otherwise I will look for a custom build on a turbo.

The only option I am aware of is the RR Racing supercharger. Adds 140-170 hp. Your experience may vary but you can read my thread in the build forum.

Was under the impression the supercharger only added like 50hp at best. You sure it is that much? Haven't looked in a minute, but I remember the low power gain being the reason I completely wrote the idea off.

I am sure. Mine went from 259-402 whp. This is roughly the same engine they put in the LS with two turbos at 416 hp.

I'll be damned, no clue what I was looking at last time.

That's awesome. The stage 3 sounds bad*** as well, though that says requires ethanol blend of gas. Is that just the highest blend? Did a quick google but haven't seen anything definitive yet.

Planning on e50 blend. We will see what we can get out of it. Hitting the dyne again tomorrow.

So you have to specifically search out places that have ethanol blends?

Definitely let us know what you get on the dyno!
